Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for February 14, 2017
Transcript:
Lupin: Tonight we discuss "Vacuum Cleaner Preparedness." Where ill YOU be when the vacuum cleaner strikes? Elvis: It's a troubling statistic Lupin. This year possibly trillions of cats will be caught unaware by the vacuum cleaner. Preparation is the only thing keeping you from being sucked into disaster! Puck: If a cacuum cleaner appears, seek shelter immediately. Remember: "If it's not a broom, leave the room." Elvis: Lupin, what should cats keep on paw in case they need to take shelter? Lupin: Food and water, Elvis. Litter, if there's time. Elvis: One reason cupboards make excellent shelter. Lupin, how long should cats be prepared to wait out the vacuum? Lupin: Minimum: forever. Puck: Family drills are helpful. But make me nervous- Elvis: Go! Go! This is the CN News crew, reminding you that vacuum cleaner preparedness is every cats responsibility! Lupin: What we need under the bed is ham.

Oh no! Not the vacuum cleaner! Cat’s gotta be prepared! I just love Pucky’s little vacuum cleaner awareness pin. :-)

Puck – where can I get a Vacuum Cleaner Awareness pin? I don’t like vacuums either.

I’ve learned from fostering kittens, that if I start using the vacuum as soon as I get them, they won’t be afraid of it after a while. To clarify, I don’t use a big one the first day and scare them to death ; I start small by using a battery vac outside of their room. If my husband is home, I go in and hold the babies while he vacuums outside of the door. It’s a process. I like them to get used to noises they’ll hear in their new homes.

As I recall, Georgia said she wrote this right after the move to California and she saw disaster preparedness announcements on tv.

To answer Lupin’s question in the first panel, if it’s a Roomba, where you want to be is sitting on top of it, riding it around the room as it works.

Maybe one of these cats should invent a vacuum cleaner warning siren like the ones they have for tornados!

My big Siamese has no fear whatsoever of the vacuum cleaner – or dogs, or strangers, or passing cars when I walk him on a leash. He’s so fearless it frightens me.

I always warn my babies when I vacuum. I tell them “hidey hole guys, hidey hole” and they go where they feel the safest.

Given Pucky’s love of bacon and ham, I’m surprised it wasn’t he who realized they needed more ham under the bed!
